Palm Vâ„¢

Pros: slim, lighting, rechargeable batteries, hard case, flexibility
Cons: internet connectivity

The Palm V is the answer to a busy person's dilemma - how to keep track of all the appointments/addresses/phone #'s and to-do's in one neat, tidy, SMALL, compact location.

The best thing about the Palm V (over all other handheld Palms) is its...

Pros: Sleek design, very functional, easy to use
Cons: Only 2MB RAM, non user replaceable battery

Ah... the Palm V. It's been out there for a quite a while now and hordes of other palm (or palm-based) designs have already been issued since. So, does this trusty ol' design still hold up against the competition (including those designed by Palm...

Pros: OS, Sleek Design, Weight
Cons: Rechargable battery, non-upgradable

The Palm V is the best PDA I've ever had in different ways. In the first place it has the great and popular Palm OS operative system, in the second, it's sleek, well designed, and works great.
I bought this PDA because I had a Palm III before and I...

Pros: Organizes your life, small size, alarms even when turned off
Cons: none, other than not a technically compelling upgrade

If you've never used a Palm (or PalmPilot), it's long past time to cough up the dough and try one out. If you're carrying around a paper calendar (especially one with lots of paper clips attached, with little pieces of paper sticking out at odd angles)...

Pros: Sleek, fabulous styling with all the Palm functionality
Cons: Other products on the horizon that integrate several different devices

I fell in love with the Palm V when I first saw it, and decided that eventually, I would "trade-up" from my Palm Pilot (that's right, it's not even backlit). So what's stopping me?

First, what I really want is to integrate the...

Pros: Compact design, Great screen resolution
Cons: Expensive

Okay, I admit it. I fell victim to Palm's advertising campaign showing off the Palm V's sleek brushed metallic case. I resisted for a while, thinking that my trusted Palm III was more than capable of providing for my needs. Alas, it wasn't long before my...

Pros: Rail mount (no velcro); brushed metal look
Cons: Pricey; not quite as sturdy as you'd think

While a decent case that does what it's supposed to do (i.e. protect the Palm V), I would have expected a little more for the price paid.

The Palm V Hard Case is basically a clamshell like case that fits around the Palm V and is held on by a...

Pros: Reliable, expandable
Cons: Unable to link to internet

I recently purchased a Palm Pilot V and have found it indispensable. After suffering the pain and torment of losing crucial data three times over the past three years, I decided to take the plunge and go with a powerful instrument that would take me...

Pros: extends the life of your PDA
Cons: costs a bit more money

After spending almost $350 a couple of years ago for a Palm III... that model is woefully obsolete. It took me less than a year to completely overload the memory and I spent countless hours reviewing my business address list deciding how many and who I...

Pros: Standard PDA with thousands of apps working today
Cons: Only 2MB memory, Vx has 8MB

The sleek sexy style of the Palm V really made using the old Palm Computing based PDA a joy to use, but there are a couple problems with the Palm V. The main issue I have with the Palm V is the amount of memory, the are stuck with 2MB. It is...

Pros: Reasonable machine, piles of pretty decent software. Battery life is pretty good (about 13 hours on intensive use). The worst crashes are still better than WinX. Better made than handspring.
Cons: The Graffiti alphabet is a bit lame. Tends to auto turn on in your pocket. Brittle screen, unless you buy a metal case. If you like games, you reach the 2M memory limit pretty quickly

Just bought a palm, mainly for games and for Java programming. On both counts, palm has a hit on their hands. The Java programming environments (KVM, Waba, Ghost Machine) are quite pleasant to use. Most of the unpleasantness is on the Microsoft side!...

Pros: Utility for Life, huge software library, compact.
Cons: No color, accessories that come with kinda suck.

The Palm V is the greatest thing to happen to mini-computing yet. Don't be fooled by Palm machines that offer "high-color rates" etc. This is all you need. I suggest if you buy one you buy the Palm Vx version, it has 4 times as much memory,...

Pros: great device, great OS.
Cons: too much money for it

In accordance to the Palm Pilot and the Handspring Visor, there are a lot of differences. By far the Palm Pilot is better the the Handspring. But if you don't have enough money for the Palm Pilot (about $500) then you should buy the Handspring (about...

Pros: Smaller, better screen, nice form factor
Cons: Battery is only a rechargeable and Palm III compatibility problems

The Palm V is good, but it seems as if the Palm 3.X features where lost, the most useful of which I found to be the IRsync. The Palm III and the Workpad both had the ability to sync via the IR port, but using the same software doesn't work with the...

Pros: Highly functional, size/weight, look
Cons: Some might not agree that the bang is worth the buck

Okay, let's be honest. Very few people really, really need a PDA at all. Even fewer need one with all the bells and whistles. People have operated very well with paper, pen, and printed lists for years. But let's also admit that they are very fun, can...
